Also, upstate NY is dark, cold, and snowy for half the year, which is most of the academic year.  

I’m surprised you didn’t get more stars on the “don’t give them salt and pepper shakers” comment.

Those are definitely palmiers, if you go to any french/euro bakery they are called that, even in the states. It is actual, laminated puff pastry with sugar in between the folds.  Funnel Cake is some sort of dough or batter that is poured through a funnel in hot oil that resembles almost like, a nest or something. It…

Making a diagnosis is often playing a game of statistics.  Do you have back pain?  It’s very likely that losing excess weight will help alleviate that.  But losing a meaningful amount of weight can take months, or even a year, and an aggressive cancer can kill you in that time.  It is hard to do, because by nature of…

They’re more likely to steal your credit card number from hacking Target or something than they are digging through your trash.  Searching for credit cards in the trash like like looking for a needle in a haystack.

They will be good, but man is their pitching mostly bad.  I don’t know enough of what they have in the minors or what they can trade (and who would be available to trade for).  Gerrit Cole is an obvious choice if they want to go for it.  Strasburg may opt-out, but he still has 4 years and $100 million on his contract…

When I was in 4th grade I once threw a pitch sideways, it just slipped out of my hand and hit the fence on the 3rd base dugout.   The ump was confused, and my father had to tell him that it was a ball.

True expansions are worth it. Trespasser dlc for Dragon Age was very good. They add to the story and bring additional gameplay. 

DA 4 I heard was supposed to be more Anthem-like, which is very disheartening based on how anthem is going

This just sounds like a pretty shit experience overall. Why would anyone want to play that or find it fun?

His home run calls drive me nuts, but other than that, I’m pretty indifferent. He and Suzyn can sometimes go off on weird tangents, and Suzyn has a penchant for always saying, at least once a game, “you can’t predict baseball” in some form or another.

I get that, the classes have analogies to DA classes, and from a gameplay perspective, it’s actually pretty fun.  But actually getting to that game play has too much in the way.  And instead of being rewarded with engaging stories and multiple story lines to explore, you are rewarded with loot, and a crappy story that…

I just tried to get back into it last week, and it crashed halfway through my second mission. Sigh.

Do they do South Shore style bar pizza in Cape Cod?  I don’t get down there really ever.  I hear that is good.

Boston/North Shore area is known for their roast beef sandwiches.  Onion roll, rare roast beef, cheese, James River bbq sauce.  The key is obviously the quality of the beef though.

I just spent a weekend in NY eating pizza all over the city, and it’s definitely better than any hand-tossed/NY style pizza almost anywhere else I’ve been.

His older Dante Jr. I think is a bigger boy than Bo, by size at least.  

They’ve found “undervalued” guys like Tauchman and Voit and Urshela, and have had some luck coaching them up and putting them in a position to succeed.  So part coaching, part front office and analytics, part luck.  They tried it with Kendrys Morales this year and it didn't work, but with Cameron Maybin it did

Harissa, mostly

Sounds like they lost Michelle Woo, since she was the Parenting Editor for Offspring
